A blues/rock group consisting of Allison Mosshart, Jack White, Jack Lawrence, and Dean Fertita. One of very few bands still worth listening to. An unequivocal personification of Rock and Roll as well as indescribable bad ass-ness.

Hipster: "How do you like the new Arcade Fire album?"

Rocker: "I don't know... I can't stop listening to Sea of Cowards by the Dead Weather, you ignorant slut".

Jack White's latest side project, also known as "Jack White's Inevitable Next Cash In Project". Although a semi-passable album, Jack White's "solos", which have been reduced to short bursts of fuzz-distortion instead of actual music, make the entire album unlistenable, as upon hearing a single decibel, the listener will be thrown into an uncontrollable psychotic fit of utter fury.

Jack White: I fancy making several MORE million dollars. Hey you! Yes, you over there in the twatty gothic dress! Come and record a half-arsed, whiny, poorly produced array of songs, call it an album, and sell it as "The Dead Weather"!
Random Singer: Er... ok!
Jack White: Thaaaaats right... it's got my name on it, so it'll sell millions regardless of whether it's good or not!
